So happy you have family there to help you get through it!Hello, Porchers!
Friday night, sitting alone in my hospital bed, feeling very loved. I've had lots of visitors the last couple of days.
My daughter (Melinda) stayed with me all day Wednesday.
My brother (Greg) surprised me by being here when I woke up Thursday. He spent all day here. This is the brother that never comes into town. Quite a surprise!
My son (Sean) and his family drove down from Fort Worth Thursday night. It was quite a crowd here Thursday night!
Friday was quieter. Then, I got my middle child (Rachel) on Google Hangouts just before dinner time and talked to her for over 3 hours. I'm very grateful to modern technology for bringing my daughter to me all the way from Scotland.
I may be terrified of doctors and surgery. But, I do feel very, very loved right now.
I appreciate all the prayers and good thoughts. Thank you all!
Gee. I just cannot see why you would need to worry about internet access working in the midst of such an industrialized area.I stumbled across these pictures this evening while looking for something else. This is the island where I work.
Often wondered that myself. I was in line at the store once and this young, good looking lady was in front of me wearing tight short, shorts with "princess" printed on the ..... Turned round and caught me looking and gave me the old "you pervert" look. I told her to her face that if she didn't want people looking at her azz she shouldn't put a sign on it. She didn't take it well but, several other folks in line broke out laughing. I did too.More
Why do some women dress so sexy, then get mad at you for looking?(true story)
I'm such a lazy schmuck.
Several months ago (older porches will remember), I started making a frame for my couch/bed thing I got on Amazon. Too low to the ground to sit on, and WAY to low to sleep on when folded out.
So I wanted to make a couch base that could convert into a bed.
Several trials and errors, I decided to make the second half of the bed frame into a back for the couch.
My biggest problem was getting it to act as a couch back and still be able to remove it to convert to a bed.
I decided that some kind of bracket would be best... But. Since its at the frame level, it wobbles and crunches and slips back.
What I needed was a bracket to hug the bottom of the "foot frame" to the "seat frame"
Couldn't find one anywhere. No one could make one for less that outrageous cost because it was one-off.
Enter the 3D printer.
3 pointing one way and 3 pointing the other way and the wobble is gone.
It took all this week, 15 hours of printing tests and 7.5 hours to print the 6 brackets, but they work! So far.

The good news, it turned on just fine this morning. Perhaps it did survive it's dive into the pool.

Where's Janis when I need her?
We Facebookers have considered the possibility. Countless millions of us are working 24/7 on a secret defense which shall render the Voogons instantly docile. Here's the secret defense. Keep it under your hat.Random Thoughts:
If Alien's were looking for signs of intelligent life on Earth, would they loose all hope after seeing facebook?
Or would they just send in the Voogons?
